Usage [edit]
This extension is part of Lab Service Wiki, developed thanks to CRG. You need to have image authorization properly set up (see below).
Installation [edit]
To install this extension, add the following to LocalSettings.php:
require_once("$IP/extensions/ImageRefer/ImageRefer.php"); $ImageReferAssociatedUsers = "Request from"; //Change for string type property $ImageReferAssociatedAllowed = "Visible"; //Change for boolean type property $ImageReferAllowedUsers = "Viewer"; //Change for string type property $ImageReferRights = array('sysop'); // Sysops can access to any image (add more values if necessary)
Configuration parameters [edit]
If we want to restrict user access using a string property that contains a username (eg. the creator of the page associated to the image) and a boolean one which enables or disables their access, we need to add these two parameters in LocalSettings.php. Their values are the properties used.
$ImageReferAssociatedUsers = "Request from";-- String type property (change 'Request from' with suitable one). It can be a username (for instance the creator of the page associated to the image).$ImageReferAssociatedAllowed = "Visible";-- Boolean property (change 'Visible' with suitable one).
Parallelly or alternately, we can use a string property that can contain a list of users (comma separated) that will be granted direct access
$ImageReferAllowedUsers = "Viewer";-- String type property (change 'Viewer' with suitable one)
User rights [edit]
We can define which users can overcome image restriction access by adding associated groups to the following array:
$ImageReferRights = array('sysop', 'team');-- sysop and team groups overcome image restriction.
TODO [edit]
- Make it more easily customizable.
- Instead of comma-separated
$ImageReferAllowedUsers, make it accept other separators by using another parameter.
